About this app

Fall asleep faster with calming sleep sounds.

Can't sleep? Pick a sound, set the timer, and let your room go quiet. Sleep

Sounds turns your phone or iPad into a bedside sound machine, with rain, fans,

ocean waves, thunderstorms and more to mask the noise that keeps you awake.

Whether you're dealing with a restless mind, a snoring partner, thin apartment

walls or a baby who only settles to white noise, one steady sound is usually all

it takes.

36 SOUNDS TO SLEEP TO

Rain and water: light rain, heavy rain, thunderstorm, ocean waves, waterfalls,

a running tap, dripping water, a sprinkler, a shower, underwater.

Fans and machines: a table fan, an air conditioner, a clothes dryer, a hair

dryer, a vacuum, a train, airplane cabin.

Nature and night: crickets, frogs, a campfire, forest at night, jungle, Amazon

rainforest, birds, tropical birds, whales, wind, wind chimes.…

Five-star share of ratings
65–79% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the app package we scanned

No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Store update history

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.

App Store

Version 1.9 · 2026-09-14
Sleep is now its own tab, and the tab bar has been redesigned to be easier to read in a dark room. • The bedside clock now fills the screen properly, including on iPad • Sleep timers read plainly again: "45 min" and "8 hrs", instead of "0 Hours 45 Minutes" and "480 mins" • Fixed the tab bar on iPad, which was showing the wrong style and ignoring the app's own colours • Subscription status now updates reliably • Updated for the latest version of iOS If Sleep Sounds helps you rest, a rating goes a long way.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
